jap no original stuff??
No joke.
Their language originated from Korea and China; Their prehistoric technology originated from Korea; Their building style and traditional costume, Kimono, originated from China; Their bushido is an advanced and a very rigid form of Confuciuism; Their historic technology came from the Dutch and Portugese; Their present day technology came after the black ship incident, which again, mostly imported and modified to suit their own needs; Even their first emperor was a Chinese called "Xu2 Fu2", who went overseas under the order of Qin Shihuang to search for the elixir for eternal life (proven by scholars in the early 1990s)
The only original things they created is, probably, the katana. Again, the shape, the skill and the know-how was originated from elsewhere.
And also one last thing, the Japanese hate it when people called them "Jap". I learnt it from gamefaqs. So, should I be the one
